The week of May 3rd through 6th will be MAP testing for all learners (face-to-face and remote). This test will allow us to identify how well learners are performing in each content area specific to identified skills. All testing will occur at the TAC building.

Please use the link below to sign up for sessions. Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Grade will need one for ELA and one for Math. 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade will need one for ELA, one for Math, and one for Science.

Week in Review:

We had a great week of testing! Students did a great job of taking their time and putting forth effort. We should get results sometime this Fall.

Looking Ahead:

We are approaching the end of the year. We only have 2 more weeks of teaching sessions and then we will take the Spring MAP. Here is the breakdown.

The week of April 19th- 23rd – Normal Schedule

The week of April 26th- 30th – Normal Schedule

The week of May 3rd- 7th – Spring MAP

The district has changed its policy on those who can MAP test. They have opened it back up and are offering an opportunity for all learners, both remote and face-to-face, to take the test. We will be running MAP testing very similar to the way we ran State testing.

2nd Graders will sign up for one session of Math and one session of Reading.

3rd Graders will sign up for one session of Math, one session of Reading and one session of Science.

There is a Sign-Up Genius link at the top of this newsletter. There are 3 different sessions each day of testing. You may choose to have them complete all the tests in one day or spread it out over two or three days. You can talk with your learner and arrive at a decision that is best for them.

Next week’s Schedule:

Monday: Phonics

Tuesday: F2F

Wednesday: Phonics, Minecraft Club (Optional)

Thursday: Online sessions 9:00-11:00, 1:00-3:00
